It is time for a new challenge here at Sugar Creek Hollow and this time it is called I CAN SEE CLEARLY.

We want you to put a clear element on your vintage or shabby chic card or other crafty project. By clear we mean items made from acetate or clear packaging such as the window for a shaker, a clear butterfly or even stamping on a clear panel. Now we understand that photographing clear is difficult so you must describe your clear element in your blog post. If you do not tell us where your clear element is, we will only assume you don't have one and that means you didn't follow the theme, which means your entry would be ineligible so please make sure you follow the rules.

Provided we have at least nine entries in the challenge we will choose one random winner who will receive a little piece of word art along with a winner's badge to display. The Design Team will choose their Top Pick and that creator will receive a winner's badge and also be in the running for a monthly Guest Designer spot.

We are pleased to have another Guest Designer joining us this week and she and our regular designers have made some wonderful projects to inspire you. In order to see what their clear elements are, you will need to go to their blogs so just click on their names.

It is time for a new challenge and this time it is called ONE, TWO, THREE. We want you to make cards with one focal image, two patterned papers and three types of embellishments (e.g. a strip of lace, a few pearls and some ribbon). You can add multiples of any of the three types you choose but we don't want you to add a 4th type of embellishment.

Provided we have at least nine entries in the challenge we will choose one random winner who will receive a little piece of word art along with a winner's badge to display. The Design Team will choose their Top Pick and that creator will receive a winner's badge and also be in the running for a monthly Guest Designer spot.

The Design Team has made some cards to inspire you so check out the details on their blogs by clicking on their names and then come on back and show us your creations.
